Travis are also preparing to head out on their UK headline tour, set to take place at the end of the year. Dates include a stop at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London on December 13, as well as shows in Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Wolverhampton, Nottingham, Margate, Bristol, Eastbourne, Sheffield, Newcastle and Glasgow. Visit here for remaining tickets.

Those dates follow on from the group busking on the streets of London in July, as well as on a vintage double-decker bus in Glasgow before that.

Elsewhere, the band recently spoke to NME about opening for The Killers on their UK/EU tour.

“We’ve been friends for years and years now and Ronnie [Vannucci Jr.] and Brandon [Flowers] are the sweetest guys,” Healy told us. “It’s nice to be a support band again too. I love being a support band. It reminds me of when we supported Oasis [on the ‘Be Here Now’ Tour in 1997].

“We went on every single night to blow them off the stage which is what a good support band should be doing. You go on, the other band watch you from the wings going, ‘Fuck’. And then they come on and do a better show because of it.”
